Typical hazards & measures
Overconfidence
— Guide participants to assess their abilities honestly. Instructors should steer climbers toward appropriate difficulty levels and discourage taking on challenges beyond their experience.
Inappropriate behavior
— Enforce a strict behavior management policy with a ratio of no more than 12 participants per instructor. Implement a warning system (yellow/red card) and have a group leader to oversee participant conduct.
Entanglement (hair/clothing)
— Ensure long hair is tied back and participants wear non-loose clothing. Provide full training on avoiding entanglement. Helmets should be worn to reduce the risk of snagging.
Equipment failure
— All ropes, harnesses, and helmets must be inspected regularly and replaced if worn out. Equipment should be logged and maintained according to manufacturer standards. Conduct a visual inspection before each session to catch any wear and tear.
Sharp edges on climbing holds
— Inspect holds regularly for wear and tear. Replace any holds with sharp edges immediately. Teach participants to report any damage they encounter.
